My Dream

Last night I have a vivid dream I must share.
I saw before me a great rug. This rug had many patterns and colors.
My eyes focused on a particular pattern. This pattern was like a shaded V shape or a upside down triangle. The triangle was bordered by a dark shade of blue maybe a quarter of an inch thick, but the interior was a lighter blue.
I noticed that when I positioned myself at a certain angle it looked like the colors switched; so that the lighter blue was on the border and the darker blue was on the inner part of the triangle. The colors did not actually change, but it was an optical illusion. And when I moved from that position I could see the colors never really changed.
The question was posed to me much in the same was it was posed to Peter in John 6:68
Will you choose the world or the Kingdom. My answer was this.
Even though I can adjust the angle and make it look like the pattern on the carpet is changed, I know the pattern has remained the same and it is I who have changed. And I know I am judged not by how I saw the carpet, but by how it truly is.
We sometimes try to adjust our selves in such a manner as to see the carpet and make it change, but no matter how hard you try to change the truth, the truth is above us all. And the truth is Jesus has the words to eternal life.
Choose what does not change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
